m cambridge established a new mark for scenic productions and takes its place as the most remarkable dram atic spectacle ever witnessed in america the one regret shared by thousands who we're unable to secure tickets is that such an epoch making production should be limited to a single performance maude adams said to bo the only amer ican actress who has a distinct personal ity scored the most brilliant triumph of her stage career as the peasant maid or visions and dreams who rose to the com mand of a victorious army by sheer force of her personality this little woman carrying the whole performance on her shoulders fairly swept the 10.000 specta tors off their feet m her great scenes and earned the greatest ovation ever accorded an american actress it was no easy task even with a com petent company of well-trained profession als to hack her efforts the very magni tude of the enterprise militated against its success the tricks of the stage man ager while they worked wonders could not give the aid accorded an indoor pro duction and the masses on the stage threatened to swamp the principals in spite of all this maude adams rose to the occasion and made of the peasant girl a thing of flesh and blood which reached out and gripped the huddled black masses of spectators sitting m darkness above her actress makes play a triumph professor hugo munsterherg spoke of the performance as a great experiment hoping only for success m order to justify the time and la!>or which had been expended maude adams took it out of the experi mental stage and swept it along to a tri
